Marines not charged

Agendizing

Chuck Muth reports that two Marine officers in a unit that was accused of killing as many as 19 Afghan civilians in 2007 will not face criminal charges.   “ Without reservation I give the benefit of the doubt to the Marines in this matter - especially considering the wave of over-lawyering and second-guessing that’s been going on over our military’s operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. But this case struck a particular chord with me because of the HUGE difference in how two different media outlets reported on the case. About the only thing both agreed upon was that an “explosive-packed minivan exploded near the unit's convoy.” ” That's the good part, but his comparison of how two press agencies reported the story is what's instructive, as if we need more instruction in this area.
